Post Pill Party - The Ceilidh

[TheDaydreamBelievers]

As the Post Pill Party Mosh Pit dies down... sweaty and bewildered, the ladies head to the bar to freshen up. Suddenly, a fiddler bursts onto the stage, beginning a merry tune. Everybody swings into an energetic Ceilidh!

Our heads are spinning, our bodies are knackered but we arent giving up dancing when the music is this catchy!

This is the 8th post pill party thread for women whose bodies don't know the correct dance steps after hormonal contraception. Raise a dram to combating delayed ovulation, flabberghasting follicular phases, loopy luteal phases, bizzare temp charts and OPKs whiter than a Scotsman's bum!

@MissC07 the dance floor is all yours!

[LauraT94]

@MissC07 haha I love that! My lines have been dancing all over the place the last few cycles haha 🤪😂

[MissC07]

@LauraT94 I was going to go for a Line Dance! Given the dancing themes and the fact we're all trying to get some good old lines of our own at the moment! Hope that's ok with everyone? 🤠

[LauraT94]

@Sperr @mrsmacmc the lemonade and ice definitely helped 😂 I'm going to have one more glass this afternoon and then it might languish in the back of my fridge 😬 especially as I have pom juice arriving later this Eve and I'm sure that'll be more palatable!

@FlyingGiraffe yay I'm glad you like the WAS acronym haha, but I'm sorry you're having this confusing spotting! Could it be super early Ovulation spotting?

@ChinChilly that's fab progression over 48 hours! I agree, step away from the tests for now ❤️ hope the happy news is settling in now!

@MissC07 I reckon just go for it if you're keen! We just need a new name.... Any ideas?

So I'm 7dpo and majorly symptom spotting 😂 I'm going to do an IC tomorrow morning because I'm ridiculous and can't help myself 🙄🤪

[MissC07]

@Juno231 I don't mind setting up the next one! Might as well do something productive with my day rather than stare at my work computer 😂

[Kay00]

@ChinChilly exactly my dear x for now you are pregnant, and the best thing you can do is to relax, eat well and spend some time with your OH xx

[ChinChilly]

@Kay00 thanks, I think i needed that! I’m not testing again until Sunday my friend rightly pointed out if i compare the top and bottom which are 48 hours apart there is a huge difference! I need to stop being irrational and ultimately what will be will be

[Kay00]

@FlyingGiraffe Actually, I woke up at 3am too and couldn't get to sleep afterwards (I was absolutely starving... pains in my stomach starving... this FODMAP diet is so tough!!).

I was drifting in and out all morning then took my temp at 6am (normal time) and it was just 35.99.... so I think its safe to say I didn't ovulate on Monday I was so hopeful. Damn!

[Kay00]

@ChinChilly I think that today's is about the same as yesterday's, but that's why they say to test every other day... at most. I think you should leave testing now until Sunday if you can, whatever the outcome on a FRER at this stage will have no baring on whether you remain pregnant or not, so spend your time relaxing and focusing on you xx

@FlyingGiraffe - Welcome to the WAS club . Hopefully your spotting was implantation? We'll have to WAS!

[ChinChilly]

@FlyingGiraffe @Juno231 Hi, thank you both for thinking off me 😊 my tests aren’t upto much I’m afraid, I was hoping they would be much darker today but it looks the same, if not abit lighter, as yesterdays! I’m not filled with confidence to be honest!

[Juno231]

@FlyingGiraffe ah I'm sorry about the insomnia! Work stress causing it? BTW I have no clue what I'm doing bbt wise so take what I say with a pinch of salt 😅

@chinchilly I logged on cause I was half expecting another frer from you 😁

Who will take the reins for the next thread btw? Any volunteers? It needs to be set up today - potentially even before lunch!

[FlyingGiraffe]

Morning ladies!
I took a couple of days off here as after my 'don't know what temp to put on FF as I woke up at a stupid time and couldn't get back to sleep question' the other day, I started spotting again....at 7DPO...so I was a bit down I had more yesterday but it has seemingly stopped as of yesterday afternoon so I'm just on the WAS game now to see if it starts again (great call on the new acronym @LauraT94 - I tend to be forever WASeeing!)
Anyway, congratulations @ChinChilly!! How are you feeling about it now? Is it sinking in? My fingers are firmly crossed those lines (which look fine by the way!) get darker and darker for you! Hope everyone else is doing well - Happy Friday!! I'm so ready for the weekend after 3 days of insomnia. I woke up at 3.55am this morning and couldn't get back to sleep! I learned my lesson from @Juno231 though and took my temp straight away this time!

[MintGreenLife]

@mrsmacmc thanks ☺️ Those are lovely choices xx

[mrsmacmc]

@LauraT94 thanks we shall see what happens now! I love beetroot but couldn't have drank the juice version 🤢 I hope the lemonade made it more palatable?

@ChinChilly yeah glad we've 'hit the button' to get the ball rolling. May look at going via private if the wait time is looooong - checked the local trust websites me it's saying 12-18 weeks for initial appts that aren't suspected cancers.

@MintGreenLife how lovely congratulations adore Jacob ❤️ our boys names in the mix if it happens are Mark or Matthew girls are Hannah or Katie

[Sperr]

@LauraT94 ewww so brave drinking beetroot juice! I could not do that. I’m on my favourite grapefruit juice already 😂. Best part of waiting for ovulation!

[LauraT94]

@MissC07 I didn't stomach it easily I can promise you 😂

@Kay00 it's mad isn't it!? But if it works then it's worth it!!

@Robyn101 I had bright red Ovulation spotting the month I conceived! Hopefully that's all it is for you.

Loving all the Welsh baby names!! I can only ever think of good girls names 🤔 and they're always ones you can shorten I.e. Dorothy - Dottie, Edith - Edie, Florence - Flo/Flossy... 😂

Also, update on the beetroot juice - my pee was pink this afternoon and I'd completely forgotten about the beetroot by that point so I freaked out thinking I must have internal bleeding/bad bladder infection or something. Worriedly told my OH who just shook his head and laughed, before reminding me of the huge glass of beetroot juice I'd earlier downed 😩😂🤦🏼‍♀️

[MintGreenLife]

@Juno231 glad you like them, Ellis is our forerunner at the mo. I actually think I'm just going to take the plunge and order the Ickle Bubba now, will make me feel better to have the biggest item ticked off when I've basically got nothing else sorted! Wow those wallpapers are so beautiful, I'm going to lose my evening to this website now haha.

Well I'm glad they are being thorough and that OH is onboard with the plan. July must feel an age away I know. All your tests have come back fine so far haven't they? Will be keeping my fingers crossed that you don't have to go down the private route in the end.

@Kay00 Welsh names are just lovely! xx

[Kay00]

@mintgreenlife I love Carys too 🥰 on my girls list I also have Alys, Lili and Delyth (my favourite).

@juno231 wow, what beautiful wallpaper 😍 I hadn't thought about putting wallpaper up in the nursery... but these designs are enchanting. I'm definitely tempted!

[Juno231]

@MintGreenLife omg gorgeous names - I think I have a special penchant for Ellis! I had to google the ridic named things but gah that's made me broody. Love love love it all. Most recently I've earmarked Boras wallpapers for a nursery but I do have to stop myself from going down the rabbit hole! www.borastapeter.com/en/rooms/children-youth-room

I'm plodding along. 15 cycles now, will reach 16 just in time for mother's day! OH has his SA appointment tomorrow and then I'll see if the doctor will see us for a follow up appointment as all my tests have been done (although officially my next appointment isn't scheduled until 8th of July!). Realistically we'll have to go private though as we wouldn't get IVF done on the NHS until next year. Luckily OH is on board with that.

[MintGreenLife]

@Kay00 ohh lovely 💕 love those names, especially Rhys! My girls shortlist was predominantly Welsh - Mali was the front runner, and had Nia and Carys on there too xx

[Kay00]

@mintgreenlife love those names 😍 im Welsh too so have a few Welsh names on my boys list too, including Evan, Nye, Rhys, Tomos. So glad things are going well for you xx

[MintGreenLife]

@Juno231 thank you :) all I've bought so far is around 5 outfits and a couple of prints and frames for the nursery. I've got a list on my phone of all the things to buy and am spending lots of time researching all the options, but haven't taken the plunge on much at the mo! For the bigger things think we've decided on a Tuttui Bambini Cozee and the Ickle Bubba Stomp (such ridiculous names!). Baby name wise we have about 5 on our shortlist, which are Ellis, Ifor, Finn, Angus and Jacob. OH is Welsh so we will most likely go for a Welsh name. Have a plan for the nursery, so will start sorting that after our 20 week scan I think.

How are you getting on? What's the latest with your appointments? x

[Robyn101]

@Kay00 I think it’s just the initial panic of wtf is going on! I’ve calmed down a bit now, hopefully I get a bit more clarity in the next few days. Interesting how our bodies change over time, I don’t remember a time of not being on the pill before last year 😅 a good 15 years to get over and get to a ‘normal’ for me

[Kay00]

@Robyn101 in my past life (17 years ago, before I went on the pill) I would bleed randomly throughout my cycle and particularly after sex, I was told this was 'normal to me'. I was quite surprised it hasn't happened since i stopped the pill. But I think the odd bit of bleeding here and there can happen, and it shouldn't be too much of a concern. Hopefully it stops and Ov is confirmed!
